Dress for Success Oregon

Mission

To empower women to achieve economic independence by providing a network of support, professional attire and the development tools to help women thrive in work and in life.

Bottom Line

Dress for Success Oregon is reimagining what it means to support women in the workforce through WorkWell, our new community hub bringing career coaching, coworking, Child Watch, Health Navigation, food resources, technology, mentorship, and more under one roof. When women have access to the resources they need to thrive, families, workplaces, and our entire Portland community rise with them.

Quote

A woman’s ambition has never been the problem. We’ve spent generations asking women to navigate systems that weren’t built with their lives in mind. At Dress for Success Oregon, we’re asking something different: what if we removed the barriers instead—and built a community where every woman has the access, agency, and opportunity to rise on her own terms?
